It's a show from a few years ago, so I'm not sure if I just never noticed it, or it was suddenly new to Netflix. It's a South Korean zombie show, but with one of what seems to be one of their usual South Korean twists.
In this the "zombie" outbreak is caused by some mysterious drug that produces a transmittable virus. Those infected become mindless and want blood. So they attack the neck of a victim as a quick source (with an added bonus of more quickly transmitting the virus to the brain). At first, the mindless state doesn't last, and they go back to normal, trying to conceal what they might have done. The feral state seems to last for increasingly longer periods, though there's evidence that's not always the case.
Anyway, two of the main protagonists are this young police officer and an anti-terrorist agent who decided to get married to they can get an apartment. The other main protagonist is the military officer in charge of trying to defeat the outbreak.
It's an interesting show, just as much about societal conflict and trust in government/media as it is about "zombies". The societal conflict comes in several forms - monetary and age being chief among them. There's also some of the usual tropes, such as the one bad guy who's guilty of a crime, which drives him to do further evil and drive important plot points.
Anyway, it's an interesting show. Just 12 episodes, and it looks like there was only one season.

I finished this show last night. It was interesting. By the end I was rooting for the main protagonists to get a happy ending and was not disappointed. And the bad guys got what they deserved as well.
Overall, there were plot holes, but the story was pretty solid. A few tweaks here and there would have improved it. The acting was pretty decent. The two leads were fun to watch, and had great chemistry with each other.
If you've got time, I recommend it.
Quite different than Sadness I take it?
